Rijksstraatweg 5492025 DG HaarlemSchrijversbuurt

A detached house the size of a double residence, offering space for a professional practice or home office, plus the freedom to create a living concept that is entirely your own. Some houses stand out for their appearance; others for their location. And then there are homes that surprise you with their sheer spaciousness, unique history, and the possibilities hidden within. Originally a doctor's home, this property occupies a distinctive spot on the Rijksstraatweg in Haarlem-Noord and served as a GP practice for many years. That history is still reflected in the layout: the house consists of various sections, features multiple entrances, and offers a surprising amount of living and usable space. Where else can you find a detached home of this size, with 238m² of living space, six bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious attic, a private entrance for the former practice area, and a garage? Here, you don’t have to decide on your living arrangement right away; the house gives you the space to determine that for yourself. LAYOUT: Ground floor: Passing through the spacious front garden, which has side access paths on both sides, you reach the entrance on the left. You step into a generous hall featuring a staircase, a corridor, and a separate toilet. To the left lies the spacious, extended living room, a delightful living area with plenty of room for a large seating arrangement and a big dining table. The open fireplace adds atmosphere, while the air conditioning ensures extra comfort. Adjoining this is the spacious kitchen-diner, featuring a large worktop, various built-in appliances, and ample room for a dining table. You can walk straight from the kitchen into the sunny back garden. From the hallway, you proceed to the second section of the house. This area has its own entrance and was originally set up as a GP practice; it is perhaps the house's biggest surprise. Living and working under one roof? A home office or practice? A space for informal caregiving? Room for an au pair, an elderly parent, or an adult child? Or simply extra living space for the family? It is all possible here. Currently, this section also includes a small kitchen and a toilet. 1st floor: The two sections of the house merge on the first floor. Here, you will find no fewer than four spacious bedrooms and a large bathroom. The bedrooms at the rear provide access to a generous balcony. 2nd floor: The landing leads to a surprisingly large upper floor, currently featuring two spacious bedrooms, a second bathroom, and an exceptionally large storage area. A floor with endless possibilities: extra bedrooms, a workspace, a hobby room, a playroom, or simply abundant storage space. And for those seeking even more space, the property offers the potential to expand the usable area to nearly 270m². Garden: The back garden faces southWEST, allowing you to enjoy the sun from the afternoon well into the evening. The private garage is accessible from the garden; it features an overhead door opening onto the access road at the rear, offering not only space to park a car but also plenty of practical room for work and storage. Additionally, the house is equipped with solar panels and features uPVC window frames with double glazing throughout most of the property. A home like this defies easy categorization, and that is precisely its strength. The fundamentals are solid, and the property has been well-maintained over the years. At the same time, it offers ample scope to tailor the space to your lifestyle, both now and in the future. You can combine living and working here. You can live together while still having your own private space. You can create a dedicated area for an elderly parent, an au pair, or an adult child. You can work from home without your job encroaching on your private life. Or, quite simply, you can use all the space for yourself and your family. It is a house with a story, generous proportions, and, bove all, endless possibilities to make it truly your own.
